Why are some eggs brown or green?
White shelled eggs come from chickens of Mediterranean background. Brown shelled eggs come from American breeds. Blue and green shells come from a South American breed called Araucana. The color of the shell has nothing to do with flavor or nutritional value. These factors are directly related to the chicken's diet. Chickens that are fed foods with strong flavors such as onions or garlic will lay eggs with a distorted flavor. Information from 'Your Chickens, a Guide to Raising and Showing' by Gail Damerow. ISBN: 0882668234 I have several varieties of chicken here at home. They are all fed the same feed. Even though I have brown, white, and green egg laying varieties, the eggs all taste the same.
